    Pre-load has been available for over a week. At least on Xbox anyway. I have mine installed and ready to go. 34-35GB.

    Should check out the Freelancers subreddit, great place to find people for alliances or clans/guilds.

    ? An SSD won't improve your frame-rate though (reduce some texture popping possibly if it's having trouble preloading from a hdd but once in mem it won't affect graphics at all).

    51GB on PC and 35GB on Xbox One X. That is some difference. The game looked incredible on the XBox so I cant see the extra 16GB on PC being even higher textures etc.

    Why not?
    All games look so much better on PC with higher quality textures and resolutions etc being the norm not to mention much higher framerate,

    Frame-rate and resolution has got nothing to do with the games size. I agree that hardware on PC will always be more powerful and that this allows for higher quality textures, resolution. I am just surprised that technically these higher quality textures are a full 16GB more. That is half the size of the console version of the game.

    Sure the Fallout 4 high res texture pack was around 50gb on their own, so not that surprising to see a much bigger install.

    Have it pre-loaded now, and will see if the servers hold up at 10:30pm tonight.

    Im not saying fps and res contribute to game size , just pointing out what your dealing with when you talk about a high spec PC to give you an idea about what textures a good PC can actually run, its night and day compared to consoles.
    16 GB is actually very small when it comes to textures.

    Its not as night and day as you seem to think.

    Do you have a Pro or One X and a decent 4k tv set? Those consoles do resolution decently and textures look great in most games that are enhanced for either console. Which is nearly every game now.

    The only real issue with consoles is the CPU's not having the grunt to hit 60fps. As it turns out this is also a problem on PC with this game too. Hope for better on release though.

    My young lad has OneX and very good spec 4k tv and same games on my PC at 1440 [ real resolution not some up scaled artificial marketing res either ] look so much better plus the huge added benefit of 144 hz/fps.

    Do you have a high spec PC?

    Yeah,have a high spec PC.

    Theres a difference in some games alright,but i dont think its anywhere near as big a gap as your portraying.

    Genuine resolution [not up-scaled malarky] + 144 hz gaming is night and day by comparison.
    Ill be more specific for you in future :P

    Frostbite engine runs considerably better on an SSD.

    4k is barely market ready tbh so you will be waiting for me running anything 4k.
    1440 is the sweetspot and will be for a hell of a long time.

    I subbed for the premier last night, You get the full Legion edition and the early access. If I cancel after a month and pick up the normal edition cheap on CD keys do you think my progress will still be kept? I think it will but not 100%
